Our sister publication, the AV wizards (it's not a club, really) over at Sound & Vision, got a glimpse of B&O's newest, record-breaking, ludicrously-priced 4-85 TV. At 85 inches, it's the world's biggest consumer 3-D TV, and at $85,000, one of the most expensive. It displays 3-D in full 1080p and even has a stand into which the screen retracts. Biggest and most expensive doesn't always mean best, but S&V seemed quite pleased with the quality of the set. Check out their writeup for more information (and, of course, some pretty pictures).

I really can't wait until the prices drop by 60% to 75%.
Although does it only display in 3d? Does it have a function to swap display style? I really do want to watch 3d all day every day, I would just go outside.
